Chapter 7 Ten gambling and nine cheating

In the blink of an eye, three years, left,

Through Tang Bohu's relationship, the other three of the four talents in Jiangnan also met Zuo Xiaoyou one after another. Although in this spoof world, the four talents look more like the four funny guys, it is just an appearance. In addition to Tang Bohu, the other three are indeed real talents and knowledgeable. Even Zhu Zhishan, who looks useless, is also a master of calligraphy and writing poems and essays.

The four great talents in Jiangnan had the opportunity to ask Zuo Xiaoyou, the number one talent in Jiangnan, and they came to visit each other every now and then. After a long time, Tang Bohu and the others found that Zuo Xiaoyou was also a very funny person, even if he was a vulgar joke, he was knowledgeable and had many local customs that they did not understand. Zuo Xiaoyou took it casually, which made the four great talents admired him even more.

But Zuo Xiaoyou was indeed speechless about Zhu Zhishan, one of the four talents.

The chubby Zhu Zhishan, a middle-aged fat man in his forties, often appears in Stephen Chow's movies, has a funny appearance, but his character is indeed not very good.

On that day, Zhu Zhishan cried and ran into the Zuo Mansion to ask for help, but even the servants couldn't stop him.

Hearing Zhu Zhishan's crying, Tang Bohu, who was studying Western percussion with Zuo Xiaoyou, frowned and said, "Zhu Zhishan's bastard must have lost cleanly. He went to me to borrow money yesterday, but I didn't lend it to him. Unexpectedly, he ran to Brother Zuo to borrow money again today. He is such a bastard."

Zuo Xiaoyou was also helpless and said, "Nine out of ten gamblings are cheating. Zhu Zhishan is really deadly and will suffer a great loss sooner or later."

"Just drive him away. His calligraphy can be sold for money anyway, so we don't need to help him." Tang Bohu said.

Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head and signaled the servants to come in.

"Brother Zuo. Help!" Not long after, Zhu Zhishan came to Taoyuan in the backyard and shouted for help: "Oh! Brother Tang is here too, help!"

“…”

"Zhu Zhishan, have you lost all again?" Zuo Xiaoyou pressed Tang Bohu's shoulder and asked.

"Oh. Those who gave birth to me, parents, and those who knew me, brother Zuo!" Zhu Zhishan looked moved when he met his confidant, but it made Tang Bohu disgusted. Zhu Zhishan also said this to him yesterday.

This bastard!

"..." Zuo Xiaoyou was convinced of his shamelessness and sighed: "How much did you lose?"

"Not too much, no more, just eight hundred taels, for Brother Zuo, it's a drop in the bucket." Zhu Zhishan said.

A pink pearl appeared in Zuo Xiaoyou's hand and said, "This pearl is worth 1,000 taels, I can help you pay off your debts. But you have to swear that you will not gamble from now on, otherwise you will not enter the gate of my Zuo Mansion."

"This..." Zhu Zhishan looked embarrassed. He had no other hobbies in his life, so he loved gambling. Zuo Xiaoyou asked him to swear not to gamble, which was no different from killing him.

Seeing his reaction, Tang Bohu couldn't help it: "Bastard! For the sake of betting, you would rather not even go in with Brother Zuo's door, you are out of salvation!"

"Brother Tang. I don't want it either." Zhu Zhishan looked bitter: "But I just couldn't help it. If I could, I wouldn't end up like this!"

"you……"

"Forget it." Zuo Xiaoyou threw the pearl to Zhu Zhishan and said, "If you really want to bet in the future, don't go to the casino, come to my place. I'll bet with you."

"Ah? Brother Zuo also likes to bet?" Zhu Zhishan grabbed the pearl with a surprised face.

"Gambling is just a pastime for me, but I won't indulge in it like Brother Zhu." Zuo Xiaoyou turned his head and said to the servants: "Go to the casino to buy a few gambling equipment. If Brother Zhu is itchy in the future, he will be able to come to Zuo Mansion. If he wins, take away the money, and if he loses, he will use a book to pay the bill."

"Oh! Brother Zuo is really a righteous man, I admire him."

"Go back the money quickly!" Zuo Xiaoyou waved his hand and banged.

Zhu Zhishan received the pearl and happily paid off his debts. Tang Bohu was not worth it, but he also admired him more and more: "For Zhu Zhishan, this bad gambling ghost, Brother Zuo is really kind and righteous."

Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "Everyone has shortcomings. As a friend, you can help if you can. If you can, don't let him down. Today, he may be the future you and me."

Tang Bohu thought about something.

The next day, Zhu Zhishan came indeed.

"Brother Zuo, Brother Tang is here too!" Zhu Zhishan walked over with a red face and clasped his fists and said, "Could Brother Tang also come to Brother Zuo's mansion to play for two?"

Tang Bohu snorted: "I'm afraid that you will not pay if you lose all your money, so I will supervise you."

"How could that happen!" Zhu Zhishan laughed dryly, walked over and sat down: "Brother Zuo, what are we playing?"

"What do Brother Zhu like to play?" Zuo Xiaoyou asked.

"I like mahjong, paijiu, four-color cards, and dice," Zhu Zhishan said.

"Then let's play mahjong in order to kill time." Zuo Xiaoyou said.

"Okay! Mahjong is good, killing time and excitement." Zhu Zhishan agreed.

There is a problem now. Zuo Xiaoyou, Tang Bohu, and Zhu Zhishan have only three people, and one is missing. Who can make up for it?

"Tsyko, come." Zuo Xiaoyou called Shiko over.

Unlike in the past, since entering this world, Tomoko has always appeared in front of others as Zuo Xiaoyou's wife. Tang Bohu and the others have seen Tomoko. They are amazing about Tomoko's beauty and temperament. Tomoko is also good at writing. In addition, they are proficient in Japanese Ukiyo-e painting skills, which amazed talented men such as Tang Bohu.

But what they envied the most was that Tomoko's Ukiyo-e painting has many spring and palace pictures, and there were quite a lot of tricks in it. Tang Bohu and his team also spent a lot of money to buy dozens of pictures, and took them home to study tricks with their wives.

They envied Zuo Xiaoyou for having such a perfect wife, who not only could leave the hall and enter the kitchen, but also could be a noble lady in front of others and a slut behind others.

They were all envious, and Tang Buhu wanted to exchange his six wives with Zuo Xiaoyou for one. Of course, he was just thinking about it, and he still couldn't do such a thing.

But I still envy you!

In fact, Zuo Xiaoyou herself was quite proud. She has been in this world for eighteen years. Because she was here for vacation, Tomoko did not practice all day long. She was a little hurt in her previous world, so this world changed the time of practice to practicing calligraphy and painting Ukiyo-e.

Japanese calligraphy and Chinese calligraphy are in line with each other, but Ukiyo-e painting is a unique Japanese painting technique. Tomoko had never practiced painting before, but the literary style in this world is prevalent. She wanted to draw something from her own country, so she began to practice Ukiyo-e painting.

Not to mention, Chiko is quite talented. After studying for fifteen years, she has basically reached the level of a famous scholar.

But what made Zuo Xiaoyou speechless was that Tomoko actually liked to draw spring, palace, and pictures. Over the years, she drew at least hundreds of pictures of spring, palace, and the ones that were not very good were all taken to the black market and sold at a high price.

It is indeed a high price. Although the painting is not very good, it is a spring~ Palace~ picture after all! And the posture is rich, so it naturally makes those second-generation ancestors, gentlemen, flock to it. Each painting can be sold for 100 taels of silver, which is more valuable than Zhu Zhishan's book stickers.

Zuo Xiaoyou was speechless. How could the people in this era be?

However, in order not to let Tomoko reveal his identity, when Tang Bohu and his friends bought Ukiyoe, Zuo Xiaoyou emphasized that they should not disclose Tomoko's identity. Otherwise, their friends would not have to do anything in the future.

Tang Bohu and the others understood this kind of paintings. They only stayed at home to watch and study them by themselves, and would not take them out to share them with others. Therefore, Zhizi's identity has not been exposed. Otherwise, Zuo Xiaoyou would have to choose to end his vacation in this world, so as not to be annoyed by those who are "thirsty for talent".

"I don't know how to play mahjong very well!" Tomoko sat down on the left and right hand and asked, "How to play?"

Zuo Xiaoyou looked at Zhu Zhishan and said, "Zhiko is not very good at playing. Then we will play simple things, not big or small. We will only talk about winning or losing. One tael of silver is added to one tael of silver for one tael, and double the amount of it. If you lose too much, you can raise the bet, but at most one tael of silver is added to ten taels of silver. Is there any problem?"

"No problem." Zhu Zhishan smiled and said, "It is unavoidable to take care of his sister-in-law's wife."

“…”

After a few rounds, Tomoko caught a card, said happily, "I seem to be fooled." After that, he pushed the cards and all of them were all.

Zhu Zhishan smiled and said, "Mrs. Sister-in-law is so lucky. Everyone says the newcomer is so lucky, so it turns out."

Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly, threw a tael of silver to Chiko, and said, "Continue."

Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan also gave one or two silver taels of money to continue playing.

At first, Zhu Zhishan could still keep a smile, but gradually, he couldn't smile.

"It's so bad!"

"It's so bad!"

"I'm not bad, too!"

"Sorry, I'm going to be rude again."

Looking at Zuo Xiaoyou, Tang Bohu and Zhizi kept playing cards, but he was black from beginning to end. Zhu Zhishan was sweating heavily and panting like a cow. He looked at the clean silver bag in front of him: "How could this happen?"

"Oh!" Tang Bohu sighed: "Brother Zhu, your gambling luck is so bad. Fortunately, I was playing with us. If I went to the casino, I would have been debtors long ago. Maybe my brother on the road would cut you into seven or eight yuan and throw it into the lake to feed the fish."

Zhu Zhishan shivered: "It won't be so miserable, right?"

Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head and said, "Brother Zhu, you can make a 100 tael of charity per piece. Let's write two characters first!"

"Okay!" Zhu Zhishan stood up, and some servants had prepared the four treasures of the study. Zhu Zhishan picked up the pen and waved it.

"The two words are written, Brother Zuo."

Zuo Xiaoyou threw two hundred taels of silver for him: "Do you still want to play?"

"Of course I have to play! I don't believe that I'll keep losing." Zhu Zhishan sat down again and was full of momentum: "I must win today!"

Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head, "Continue!"

An hour later, Zhu Zhishan's whole body shivered and he lost all again.

"Brother Zhu, don't you understand?" Zuo Xiaoyou said.

"What?" Zhu Zhishan was dizzy and didn't understand why he was so lucky. He was so fucked.

"Nine out of ten bets are cheated." Zuo Xiaoyou grabbed a handful of cards, and it was all the same. Then he grabbed another handful of cards, and he was very happy. He grabbed another handful of cards, and he was a big three yuan. He grabbed another handful of cards, and he was right and right.

Zhu Zhishan was stunned, and even Tang Bohu was extremely surprised. (To be continued.)
